There’s no better way to greet warm weather than to throw a fiesta.

Celebrate Mexican culture tomorrow at the Cinco de Mayo Festival and Parade in Jersey City.

The two-block parade, which starts at 4 p.m., will proceed down Grove Street from Grand Street to Montgomery Street and end with a fiesta at Bar Majestic, located at 275 Grove St., which will run from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Paul Silverman, who founded SILVERMAN with his brother Eric in 1981, said the Jersey City developing company started the festival in 2005 to bring the community together.

“Our overall goal was to give energy and enthusiasm to the neighborhood,” Silverman explained. “My son Matthew came up with the idea for a Cinco de Mayo celebration because it’s in the spring and good weather.”

While Silverman acknowledged that there isn’t a large Mexican population in Jersey City, he believes everyone readily embraces the culture.

“It’s a huge, diverse community. We’ll celebrate any holiday we can find,” he said. “It gives us an exciting, enthusiastic reason to celebrate.

Two of this year’s honorees — Vanessa and Dan Mandelbaum, longtime Majestic Theatre Condominium residents — are part of the city’s small Mexican community.

The other honorees are newly-elected Jersey City Councilwoman Kalimah Ahmad; Jersey City Medical Center Nurse of the Year Marissa Fisher; Jersey City Director of Public Works Rodney Hadley; Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association Vice President Jan Nordland; local event planner and loyal Bar Majestic customer Matt Olivas; Jersey City Fire Chief Darren Rivers; New City Kids Executive Director and Pastor Trevor Rubingh, and Hudson County Sheriff Frank X. Schillari.

At the event, people can dance to and enjoy music by a DJ and percussionists from North Brunswick Township High School.

There will also be food and drink available for purchase from vendors like Taco Truck, Cupcake Salon and New Jersey Beer, Silverman said.

Silverman, who will be heading the parade along with his brother Eric, said the parade is just part of what the developers do for the neighborhood.

“We want people from different areas to come together to try to mobilize a group of people who may not know each other over a margarita or soft drink,” he said.
